FOUNTAIN FLOWER-STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 577,230, dated February 16, 1897. Application filed October 18, 1896. Serial No. 608,706. (No model.)

To (tZl whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CALVIN O. BOYD, residing at Harlansburg, in the county of Lawrence and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Fountain Flower-Stand, of

which the following is a specification.

This invention is a portable flower-stand, the object being to provide an exceedingly cheap, simple, and ornamental tlower stand IO orsupport for holdingpotted flowersor plants, and atthe same time providingsuitable means for watering the same.

Another object of the invention is to provide a flower-stand with revolving parts,

I 5 whereby flowers can be turned about a central axle or center; and a still further object is to construct the various parts that they can be readily moved and packed intoasmall space for transportation.

' With these various objects in view my invention consists in the peculiar construction of the Various parts and in their novel combination or arrangement, all of which will be fully described herein after,and pointed out in 2 5 the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my flower-stand. Fig. 2 is a sectional View taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a 0 similar View taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view showing a portion of the tubular standard, a collar arranged thereon, the supporting-spring and the bracket-arms attached to the collar.

3 5 In carrying out my invention I employ a central tubular standard A, which may be of any desired length, and at its lower end is adapted for attachment to the hose-pipe B, and at its upper end is provided with a dis 4o charge-nozzle O.

The standard A is supported by means of a number of legs D, constructed of stout rodiron, said legs having casters Dat theirlower ends and being attached to the central standard by means of the brace-arms E and E, the said rods being continued downwardly past the brace E and bent upwardly, as at F, to provide a bracketarm G, which carries a rest H at its outer end, upon which a flower-pot is adapted to be placed.

A collar I is arranged upon the tubular standard about midway its height, said collar being supported upon a coiled-wire spring K, which is attached at its lower end to the standard and encircles the said standard in an ornamental fashion.

The collar I has a series of bracket-arms L depending therefrom, having rests L at their outer ends, the inner ends of said bracketarms being adapted to fit in sockets produced in the upper face of the collar I.

In addition to the bracket-arms L a second set of bracket-arms M are also attached to the collar I, said bracket-arms M being only about one-half the length of the arms L and being provided with rests M at their outer ends.

A second collar N is arranged upon the standard A above the collar I and is supported in the same manner by means of the spring 0, and depending from this collar N are the bracket-arms P, having rests P, and in addition to this aseries of bracket-arms Q, project upwardly and carry the rests Q at their outer ends.

A spring S surrounds the standard above the collar N and supports a rest R, upon which a flower-pot can be placed after the spray-noz zle O has been removed.

From the above description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap and simple flower-stand, which is provided with means for watering the plants supported upon the rack. Furthermore, the bracket-arms supported from the collars can be readily revolved and, when desired, the entire rack can be taken apart and packed in a very small space.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 1. In a flower-stand, the combination with a tubular standard adapted to have a hosepipe attached thereto, and the spray-nozzle to the upper end thereof, of the supportinglegs and the bracket-arms having rests at their outer ends, substantialy as shown and described.

2. In a flower-stand, the combination with the collars mounted upon the tubular standard, and the bracket-arms attached to said collars, having rests in their outer ends, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a flower-stand, the combination with the tubular standard, of the supporting-legs attached thereto, the upper ends of said legs being bent upward to provide bracket-arms and having rests at their outer ends, collars mounted upon the tubular standard, and bracket-arms attached to said collars and having rests at their outer ends, substantially as shown and described.

4. In a flower-stand, the combination with the tubular standard, of the supporting-legs having the integral bracket-arms provided with rests at their outer ends, the supportingsprings surrounding the standard, the collars CALVIN C. BOYD.
